Trade Wars: Economic Strategy or Risky Gamble for the U.S.?

As global markets become increasingly interconnected, trade wars have emerged as a high-stakes economic strategy with far-reaching consequences. A potential trade conflict between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico—key partners in the North American supply chain—raises critical questions about economic growth, job security, and consumer prices. While proponents argue that tariffs and trade restrictions protect domestic industries, critics warn of rising costs, retaliatory measures, and disruptions to vital industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology. Understanding the impact of trade wars is essential to assessing the future of North American economic relations, with key areas of interest including:

• The economic implications of tariffs on American businesses, workers, and consumers
• How a trade war with Canada and Mexico could impact the USMCA agreement and cross-border trade
• The industries most vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and retaliatory tariffs
• The historical impact of past trade wars on economic growth and stability
• The role of globalization and shifting alliances in modern trade policies
